#6 Io Shirai

Japanese sensation Io Shirai made a major name for herself in WWE when she made it to the finals of the second iteration of WWE's Mae Young Classic in 2018. After being defeated in the women's tournament by Toni Storm, Shirai transitioned seamlessly to NXT, and soon became a top star on the Wednesday night brand.

Shirai is currently one NXT's top female stars, and has been feuding with reigning NXT Women's Champion Shayna Baszler. As of this writing, it remains unknown who Shirai will face at NXT Takeover Toronto, as Baszler will be defending the title against another NXT star who will be revealed in the coming weeks.

As for WWE 2K20, last year's game featured the debut of Io Shirai's Sky Pirates tag team partner Kairi Sane, making this year's game the perfect opportunity for Shirai to make her in-game debut as a playable character.
